Description _ gtzabari 2001-03-22 02:47:02 UTC
I'm assigning this to Core because this request-for-enhancement is 
distributed throughout multiple components and I didn't know which ones 
to contact.

My suggestion is that instead of displaying constructors as functions 
with class names and associated packages, you also include the full 
function signature. Right now when I view the CONSTRUCTORS node in 
Explorer -> Class X -> Constructors, it will list 5-6 constructors which 
are seemingly identical (since they share the same package and class 
name) however their arguments differ but Netbeans does not display this. 
This problem occurs in EXPLORER and Component Browser to name two but I'm 
sure it's experienced elsewhere in the program.

Could you please CC this request to the various netbeans component groups 
you are aware of that would be affected by this request.

Thanks you :)

reassigning to java and ccing clazz
Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2001-03-28 17:35:20 UTC
Agreed - the "Constructors" node is not much useful without this info :-)
Comment 3 Svata Dedic 2001-03-29 12:04:48 UTC
Thanks for this suggestion -- I found at that the IDE serializes default 
values for various options during the first start, making them 
indistinguishable from user customizations during following sessions :-(
I couldn't change the default format in any other way than versioning the 
settings object :-((

Implemented for 3.2.16, dev-157. The change will affect all constructor 
presentations deriving from the default ones.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
